League of Conservation VotersOctober 12, 2006

Today George Bush declared the November election would be about two things: the economy and national security.

After three disastrous years in Iraq, we all know the key to both issues is an energy plan that reduces our dependence on Mideast oil.

The League of Conservation Voters wants Congress to adopt a serious energy plan now. Please join me in signing their petition.

Packaging symbolizes the disposable society we have become. More than half of all paper produced in the United States is used in paper packaging.
As a result, in the U.S. we generate 300 pounds of packaging waste per person each year and 32% of the entire domestic waste stream consists of containers and packaging. Because the Southern U.S. is the largest paper producing region in the world, and more than half of all paper production goes to paper packaging, our society's decisions about packaging directly impact Southern forests.

The paper packaging industry needs reform. We must reduce the amount of paper in packaging; increase post consumer fiber used for packaging; and ensure that paper products are not coming from endangered forests.

Ask International Paper, the largest paper company to lead their industry in reforming!

Iceland is a stunning, pristine land that attracts hundreds of thousands of tourists each year, many of them to go whale watching in the clear arctic waters. Greenpeace has launched a "Whale tourism pledge" -- a promise to visit Iceland if the government stops whaling.

With every tourist worth an average of US$ 1,169 to the Icelandic economy, the tens of thousands of pledges to date represent more than 100 million USD in potential tourist revenue for Iceland -- against a commercial whaling programme which was worth less than 4 million USD per annum in its prime in the 1980s, and is today effectively worthless.

The Bush administration is poised to remove wolves from the endangered species list, allowing Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana to kill more than 80 percent of the wolves in the northern Rockies.

If this happens, wolves may once again face the brink of extinction after years of recovery. We urgently need your help.

The Wyoming Plan, for example, allows anyone to kill any wolf that wanders outside a small area in the northwest corner of the state. The plan would even target animals who live for most of the year in Yellowstone National Park but wander out in the winter in search of food!

Please sign the petition to Congress and tell them that you oppose the slaughter of wolves in the northern Rockies!

Scientists have already warned that a few thousand wolves are necessary to ensure the long-term survival of the species, but the Wyoming Plan completely ignores the science and goes against the will of most Americans who support wolf recovery efforts.

Sign the petition to protect wolves.

Thank you on behalf of all wolf mothers and their pups in the northern Rockies.

We The People of the United States of America, who have been lied to and been forced to endure the destruction of The United States of America's Constitution and Bill of Rights, and all the impending ramifications of such destruction, hereby request The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights make an unbiased thorough inquiry into the actions of all prior and current members of "The Project for a New American Century" (PNAC), and members of the current administration(George W. Bush) for crimes against humanity, not the least of which include torture, racketeering, spying on American citizenry, fraud, malfeasance, corruption of public office, murder, plot to commit murder, insider trading, misuse of public funds, and still unknown atrocities as may be uncovered by any and all sources.
